MARK HAMMEL, PH.D., PSYCHOLOGIST, P.C.

Mark Hammel, Ph.D., Psychologist, P.C. specializes in providing clinical mental health services tailored to veterans transitioning back to civilian life, with a focus on readjustment counseling and trauma-informed care. The contractor delivers evidence-based psychological interventions in outpatient settings, addressing post-deployment mental health challenges including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and moral injury. Drawing on doctoral-level clinical expertise, the practitioner employs cognitive behavioral therapies, motivational interviewing, and crisis intervention strategies within a veteran-centric framework. Their approach emphasizes cultural competency, longitudinal care coordination, and integration with VA service networks to support holistic veteran wellness. The contractor’s primary agency relationship is with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where they deliver community-based readjustment counseling services under VA’s Vet Center program. This work involves direct clinical engagement with veterans and their families in non-medical, peer-supported environments, often in underserved rural or suburban regions. The services align with VA’s mission to provide accessible, stigma-free mental health support outside traditional medical settings, reinforcing trust through localized, personalized care. The contractor operates under NAICS 621330, which encompasses outpatient mental health services provided by licensed psychologists and clinical social workers. Their market positioning is narrow but deeply specialized, focusing exclusively on veteran mental health outcomes rather than broad behavioral health services. This vertical specialization distinguishes them in the federal contracting landscape by targeting a high-need, federally mandated population with clinically rigorous, non-physician psychological care. As a sole proprietorship structured as a 2L entity, the contractor operates independently from Kingston, New York, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic presence is localized but strategically aligned with VA service delivery zones in upstate New York, enabling responsive, community-integrated care for veteran populations in areas with limited access to mental health resources.
